Headquartered at Merrifield’s working farm, this driving tour spans city and country properties set amid the rolling hills of the Shenandoah Valley. Four magnificent private homes anchor the day: Merrifield’s brick Georgian-style farmhouse, the Georgian Revival mansion at Waverley Hill, a meticulously restored 1840s Italianate farmhouse at Bear Wallow Farm, and one of Staunton’s oldest residences, the 1830s antebellum Edge Hill. In addition to interiors, visitors will tour each home’s gardens, learn from Master Gardeners, and enjoy events at Merrifield along the way. It’s a full day of architecture, agriculture, and horticulture in Staunton, Virginia’s storied Queen City.
